Hi Everyone-
I'm new here and I'm hoping someone can help me feel better. I applied for SSDI back in April and this past Wednesday I received a letter saying that I was found medically disabled, but now I have to wait for a second letter stating that I meet the non medical qualifications.
I know I have enough work credits, so I really hope this is just about the work credits.
Has anyone else gotten this first letter and had to wait for the second letter?
My letter also stated that my disability began on 3/29/13 and my eligibility for benefits started on 9/01/13. I think this reflects the five month waiting period.
Any information would be helpful. I just hate having to wait and I want to celebrate, but I won't be able to fully relax until I have that second letter in my hands.
thanks for all of your help.

Welcome canswicky.

Someone will be along to help.

It sounds like normal processing. There are different SSA components who take different actions. You have to wait. May be a few days, a week. Should not be longer than 30 days.

Thank you for replying. I know I just need to be patient, but it feels impossible. I should just stop and realize how lucky I am to be at this stage in the process. So many deserving people have been waiting years, so I need to just stop my whining.
Again thanks for answering and that you too Kitt, your comment was sweet.
